Purchase of upgrade of Windows 8 $14,99 - a few questions

• Purchase of upgrade of Windows 8 on a computer but install it on another?

  Hi, I have a question about upgrading to Windows 8 Pro (this fall). I have a computer netbook with Windows XP license is installed. But, I just bought a desktop PC with free DOS (any operating system) because it was cheaper. He is more than capable to run Windows 8. Unfortunately, my netbook is required to operate Windows 8 screen resolution. It will be possible to buy an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro on account of my netbook under Windows XP and 'transfer' license then install to the PC (which is running Linux, but I hate it)? I see that it is possible to create a USB installation and 'redeveloped' from XP to Windows 8 is not true upgrade, right, since pretty much everything except personnel files will be deleted so I assume that a "full" installation of Windows 8 will be necessary to "upgrade" from XP to Windows 8...

  In any case, I hope that it will be possible. And I hope that Windows 8 will be available for the upgrade in Croatia? :)

  Hello Cridarius,

  The copy of Windows XP has been approved for the netbook, so you cannot install it on any other computer. It is also bound to the material on the netbook too.

  Your new PC is not an operating system, so it would be more sensible to buy a full Windows 8 commercial copy, when available. Copies OEM (which came with your netbook) are, as I have already said, related to the first PC they are installed on. A retail copy is not. Although you can install the copy you buy on 1 machine (you can not install it on two or more. To do this, you will need to purchase individual copies or multiple licenses.

  With a copy to the detail, assuming that, for example, your PC dies and you have purchased a new PC without windows 8, then you may install the copy to the detail on the new PC. I only use copies of the retail of Windows and install it on the new PC I buy. The OEM or the recovery backuip is then kept in the case where later, I sell the PC so that it is restored to the conditions of the factory.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• We have an oem vista and you have purchased an upgrade to windows 7. This will improve the vista or it won't work, because we have an oem version?

  We have vista oem

  Bought a pack of upgrade
  Worried it does not level as we have oem
  Will I buy a new oem version of windows 7?

  All editions of Windows Vista are eligible for licenses for the Windows 7 upgrade, there are a few flats according to the architecture and edition of Vista you are running and which edition of Windows 7 and you intend to move to the architecture.

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

• its my first time install another version of windows. and I have a few questions...

  a friend an.older gave.me toshiba satellite. (A85 - S107). in any case... in regards to the pinned programs n such go... There is nothing I want or feel uthe must keep. However, are there any programs that I need to back up and reinstall after?  and install the drivers for the version of windows before or after the installation...

  It is up to you to determine if there are apps you want to keep. Windows comes with everything it needs to run except the drivers of course.

  You should always check the Web site of the manufacturer for drivers that are available for the version of Windows that you are installing.

• How to manage upgrades to Windows 7 with Windows 10 installed?

  So I have a fairly sophisticated question. My family computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I built my own PC game last Christmas and I installed the same version of Windows using the same product key. Since the free update of Windows 10 lance tomorrow, I have advanced and reserved my copy. Now, here's my problem: the version of Windows that I currently go to Windows 10 Home. Let's say I want to upgrade to Windows Pro 10. Currently, I'm lost on how should I do for this. I could go ahead and buy my own copy of Windows 7 Professional and install it and then upgrade to Windows Pro 10 or I could go ahead and install Windows 10 Home. But then after I have 10 Windows Home, how I would acquire Pro?

  After 10 of Windows is installed, you can purchase an upgrade to Windows Pro 10.

  The real problem is that you used the same product key Windows 7 Home on two computers. The rule is: a key = a single computer. You must either uninstall Windows 7 from one of the two computers (sooner or later, one of the two will move non-genuine)

  If you want to keep it 7 on the family computer then the best thing to do is to buy Windows 7 Pro and install it on your PC gaming and then upgrade to Windows 10. Note that the only other versions of Windows 7 are OEM / System Builder versions that require a clean installation of Windows you will need to re - install your games and other applications.

  Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/microsoft-windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

  Another option would be to go directly to Windows 10 Pro by buying:

  Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/175-5230408-0159517?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-keywords=Windows+10

  The version of a $200 more expensive th has advantage of being a 'Retail' version which means can be move to a new game system. OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed on the.

• Where did the option upgrade to Windows 7?

  After a few years of wrestling with Vista, I was finally about to try Windows 7, but the upgrade option only seems to be for Windows 8, which I absolutely hate.  Where can I download and purchase an upgrade to Windows 7 for Vista?

• Envy 15-c101dx: 8.1 Windows reset always available after upgrade to Windows 10 and refreshment?

  I tried to troubleshoot and fix a driver of hareware problem that was discovered after doing the upgrade of Windows 10 Windows 8.1. Before updating my system, I was warned by the software that I would not be able to return to Windows 8.1 if I did the update with the upgrade of Windows 10 still installed. My question is if Windows 10 also stop me from going back to Windows 8 if I did a reset of the system?

  I played it safe and restored back to 8.1 for Windows before you reset this time, but this will delay upgrading me to Windows 10 in confidence (1 month to try it is not a lot of time).

  Hi @hyjiad.

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question on your HP ENVY x 2-computer laptop 15-c101dx and concerns with the Windows 10 upgrade. It shows me that your system is compatible with Windows 10 drivers. It tells you which driver he would have a problem with?

  The best I can offer at this point is to create your a HP recovery USB drive.

  Here is a link to Windows 10 FAQ. It gives you that Go Back is a feature that will restore your computer to the old operating system that was installed before you upgraded to Windows 10 for only 28 days. But with your recovery USB disk you can do at any point and time.

  I hope this helps you.

  Thank you.

• When upgrading to Windows 7 XP I lose my registration of Microsoft office?

  I currently have windows XP and I want to upgrade to windows 7, however. A few years ago I got MS office for £300 and I have used it on 3 computers (according to which on the box is its max) and im not sure if during the upgrade to 7, it will keep the MS office reg to use on 7 or if I have to buy new MS office (which I do).

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  How can I reinstall Windows XP?  I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records.  I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM.  It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Thank you for that. I did some more research on the forums then rebooted my machine. The installation is completed successfully. I think that Microsoft should focus on this. Very confusing tell them that this is a key issue when all that is needed is the machine to be restarted. Thanks for your help anyway. See you soon

• HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged

  Hello

  I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.

  Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?

  Thanks in advance

  Best regards

  PAL

  Hello

  You cannot transfer the license of Vista.

  If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.

  Read this information and you will understand what I mean:

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  See you soon.
